TechFlow News, May 29: According to The Block, Jeffrey Sprecher, Chairman and CEO of Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), stated that ICE has met with the Hyperliquid team on multiple occasions to assess the possibility of entering the on-chain perpetual futures market—currently dominated by Hyperliquid—and has engaged with regulators to seek a “level playing field” for related business activities.
Sprecher added that ICE wants clarity on whether such business activities are legal; if they are, the company is willing to participate further, but if not, it questions why existing participants have not faced equivalent regulatory pressure. The report also notes that ICE is exploring potential synergies between its existing businesses and the on-chain perpetual futures market.
